4a4ab19c |
21 | 3.28_03 - Mon Oct 27 22:12:11 2008 |
22 | |
23 | - In Cwd.pm, pass the un-munged $VERSION to XSLoader/DynaLoader, |
24 | otherwise development releases fail tests on Win32. |
25 | |
26 | 3.28_02 - Mon Oct 27 20:13:11 2008 |
27 | |
28 | - Fixed some issues on QNX/NTO related to paths with double |
29 | slashes. [Matt Kraai & Nicholas Clark] |
30 | |
31 | 3.28_01 - Fri Jul 25 21:18:11 2008 |
32 | |
fa89a9ae |
33 | - Fixed and clarified the behavior of splitpath() with a $no_file |
34 | argument on VMS. [Craig A. Berry, Peter Edwards] |
35 | |
36 | - Removed some function prototypes and other Perl::Critic violations. |
37 | |
38 | - canonpath() and catdir() and catfile() on Win32 now make an |
39 | explicit (and unnecessary) copy of their arguments right away, |
40 | because apparently if we don't, we sabotage all of Win32dom. [RT |
41 | #33675] |
42 | |
43 | - The Makefile.PL now has 'use 5.005;' to explicitly show what |
44 | minimum version of perl we support. [Spotted by Alexandr Ciornii] |
45 | |
46 | 3.2701 - Mon Feb 11 21:43:51 2008 |
47 | |
48 | - Fixed an edge case for Win32 catdir('C:', 'foo') and catfile('C:', |
49 | 'foo.txt') (which the caller's not really supposed to do, that's |
50 | what catpath() is for) that changed between versions. Now we're |
51 | back to the old behavior, which was to return C:\foo and C:\foo.txt . |
52 | [Audrey Tang] |
53 | |
54 | 3.27 - Wed Jan 16 20:20:49 2008 |
55 | |
56 | - If strlcpy() and strlcat() aren't available on the user's system, |
57 | we now use ppport.h to provide them, so our C code works. [Steve |
58 | Peters] |
59 | |
60 | - Upgraded to a newer version of ppport.h [Steve Peters] |
61 | |
62 | 3.26 - Sun Jan 13 21:59:20 2008 |
63 | |
64 | - case_tolerant() on Cygwin will now avoid a painful death when |
65 | Cygwin::mount_flags() isn't defined, as is the case for perl < |
66 | 5.10. It will now just return 1, which is what it always did |
67 | before it got so smart. [Spotted by Emanuele Zeppieri] |
68 | |
69 | - abs_path() on Unix(ish) platforms has been upgraded to a much later |
70 | version of the underlying C code from BSD. [Michael Schwern] |
71 | |
72 | 3.2501 - Mon Dec 24 20:33:02 2007 |
73 | |
74 | - Reimplemented abs_path() on VMS to use |
75 | VMS::Filespec::vms_realpath() when it's available. [John E. Malmberg] |
76 | |
77 | - tmpdir() on Cygwin now also looks in $ENV{TMP} and $ENV{TEMP}. |
78 | |
79 | - case_tolerant() on Cygwin and Win32 now take an optional path |
80 | argument, defaulting to the C drive, to check for case tolerance, |
81 | because this fact can vary on different volumes. |
82 | |
83 | - File::Spec on Unix now uses Cwd::getcwd() rather than Cwd::cwd() to |
84 | get the current directory because I guess someone on p5p thought it |
85 | was more appropriate. |
86 | |
87 | - Added a large set of File::Spec tests for the Cygwin platform. |
88 | |
89 | - abs_path() now behaves correctly with symbolic links on VMS. |
90 | |
91 | - Someone fixed a couple of mysterious edge cases in VMS' canonpath() |
92 | and splitdir(). |
93 | |
94 | 3.25_01 - Sat Oct 13 21:13:57 2007 |
95 | |
96 | - Major fixes on Win32, including a rewrite of catdir(), catfile(), |
97 | and canonpath() in terms of a single body of code. [Heinrich Tegethoff] |
98 | |
99 | - For Win32 and Cygwin, case-tolerance can vary depending on the |
100 | volume under scrutiny. When Win32API::File is available, it will |
101 | be employed to determine case-sensitivity of the given filesystem |
102 | (C: by default), otherwise we still return the default of 1. [Reini |
103 | Urban] |
104 | |
105 | - On Cygwin, we added $ENV{'TMP'} and $ENV{'TEMP'} to the list of |
106 | possible places to look for tmpdir() return values. [Reini Urban] |
107 | |
108 | - Added lots more tests for Cygwin. [Reini Urban] |
109 | |
110 | - canonpath() with no arguments and canonpath(undef) now consistently |
111 | return undef on all platforms. [Spotted by Peter John Edwards] |
112 | |
113 | - Fixed splitdir('') and splitdir(undef) and splitdir() to return an |
114 | empty list on VMS and MacOS, like it does on other platforms. |
115 | [Craig A. Berry] |
116 | |
117 | - All .pm files now have the same $VERSION number, rather than a |
118 | hodgepodge of various numbers. |
119 | |
120 | 3.25 - Mon May 21 21:07:26 2007 |
121 | |
dfa4e5d3 |
122 | - Added a workaround for auto-vivication-of-function-args Perl bug |
123 | (triggered by OS/2-specific code). [Ilya Zakharevich] |
124 | |
125 | - Sync with a bleadperl change: miniperl can no longer use Win32::* |
126 | functions because it cannot load Win32.dll. [Jan Dubois] |
127 | |
128 | - We only need to load ppport.h when building outside the core, so we |
129 | avoid using it when in the core. |
130 | |
131 | 3.24 - Sun Nov 19 22:52:49 2006 |
132 | |
e9475de8 |
133 | - Fixed a bug in the $ENV{PWD}-updating of Cwd::chdir() when a |
134 | dirhandle is passed in. [Steve Peters] |
135 | |
136 | - Add perl 5.005 to the list of requirements in the |
137 | Build.PL/Makefile.PL/META.yml. |
138 | |
139 | - Add ExtUtils::CBuilder to the list of build_requires in Build.PL. |
140 | |
141 | - Improved performance of canonpath() on Unix-ish platforms - on my |
142 | OS X laptop it looks like it's about twice as fast. [Ruslan Zakirov] |
143 | |
144 | 3.23 - Wed Oct 11 12:11:25 2006 |
145 | |
c1e8580e |
146 | - Yet more Win32 fixes (sigh... seems like I'm fighting a neverending |
147 | waterbed...). This time, fixed file_name_is_absolute() to know |
148 | what it's doing when the path includes a volume but a relative |
149 | path, like C:foo.txt . This bug had impact in rel2abs() on Win32 |
150 | too. |
151 | |
152 | 3.22 - Mon Oct 9 21:50:52 2006 |
81a4c762 |
153 | |
154 | - Fixed the t/crossplatform.t test on Win32 (and possibly other |
155 | volume-aware platforms) now that rel2abs() always adds a drive |
156 | letter. [Reported by several parties] |
157 | |
158 | 3.21 - Wed Oct 4 21:16:43 2006 |
110c90cc |
159 | |
160 | - Added a bunch of X<> tags to the File::Spec docs to help |
161 | podindex. [Gabor Szabo] |
162 | |
163 | - On Win32, abs2rel('C:\one\two\t\foo', 't\bar') should return |
164 | '..\foo' when the cwd is 'C:\one\two', but it wasn't noticing that |
165 | the two relevant volumes were the same so it would return the full |
166 | path 'C:\one\two\t\foo'. This is fixed. [Spotted by Alexandr |
167 | Ciornii] |
168 | |
169 | - On Win32, rel2abs() now always adds a volume (drive letter) if the |
170 | given path doesn't have a volume (drive letter or UNC volume). |
171 | Previously it could return a value that didn't have a volume if the |
172 | input was a semi-absolute path like /foo/bar instead of a |
173 | fully-absolute path like C:/foo/bar . |
174 | |
c47834cd |
175 | 3.19 Tue Jul 11 22:40:26 CDT 2006 |
176 | |
177 | - When abs2rel() is called with two relative paths |
178 | (e.g. abs2rel('foo/bar/baz', 'foo/bar')) the resolution algorithm |
179 | needlessly called cwd() (twice!) to turn both arguments into |
180 | absolute paths. Now it avoids the cwd() calls with a workaround, |
181 | making a big efficiency win when abs2rel() is called |
182 | repeatedly. [Brendan O'Dea] |
183 | |
184 | - Added a build-time dependency on ExtUtils::Install version 1.39 |
185 | when on Windows. This is necessary because version 1.39 knows how |
186 | to replace an in-use Cwd shared library, but previous versions |
187 | don't. [Suggested by Adam Kennedy] |
188 | |
189 | - Fixed File::Spec::Win32->canonpath('foo/../bar'), which was |
190 | returning \bar, and now properly returns just bar. [Spotted by |
191 | Heinrich Tegethoff] |
192 | |
259de58f |
193 | 3.18 Thu Apr 27 22:01:38 CDT 2006 |
194 | |
195 | - Fixed some problems on VMS in which a directory called "0" would be |
196 | treated as a second-class citizen. [Peter (Stig) Edwards] |
197 | |
198 | - Added a couple of regression tests to make sure abs2rel('/foo/bar', |
199 | '/') works as expected. [Chia-liang Kao] |
200 | |
201 | - Added a couple of regression tests to make sure catdir('/', |
202 | 'foo/bar') works as expected. [Mark Grimes] |
203 | |
204 | 3.17 Fri Mar 3 16:52:30 CST 2006 |
205 | |
206 | - The Cygwin version of Cwd::cwd() will croak if given any arguments |
207 | (which can happen if, for example, it's called as Cwd->cwd). Since |
208 | that croaking is bad, we now wrap the original cwd() in a |
209 | subroutine that ignores its arguments. We could skip this wrapping |
210 | if a future version of perl changes cygwin.c's cwd() to not barf |
211 | when fed an argument. [Jerry D. Hedden] |
212 | |
213 | 3.16 Mon Jan 30 20:48:41 CST 2006 |
214 | |
215 | - Updated to version 3.06 of ppport.h, which provides backward |
216 | compatibility XS layers for older perl versions. |
217 | |
218 | - Clarify in the docs for File::Spec's abs2rel() and rel2abs() |
219 | methods that the cwd() function it discusses is |
220 | Cwd::cwd(). [Spotted by Steven Lembark] |
221 | |
222 | - Apparently the version of File::Path that ships with perl 5.8.5 |
223 | (and perhaps others) calls Cwd::getcwd() with an argument (perhaps |
224 | as a method?), which causes it to die with a prototyping error. |
225 | We've eliminated the prototype by using the "(...)" arglist, since |
226 | "PROTOTYPE: DISABLE" for the function didn't seem to work. [Spotted |
227 | by Eamon Daly and others] |
228 | |
6a288e04 |
229 | 3.15 Tue Dec 27 14:17:39 CST 2005 |
fa52125f |
230 | |
231 | - The Cwd::getcwd() function on *nix is now a direct pass-through to |
232 | the underlying getcwd() C library function when possible. This is |
233 | safer and faster than the previous implementation, which just did |
6a288e04 |
234 | abs_path('.'). The pure-perl version has been kept for cases in |
235 | which the XS version can't load, such as when running under |
236 | miniperl. [Suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons] |
fa52125f |
237 | |
238 | - When Cwd searches for a 'pwd' executable in the $PATH, we now stop |
239 | after we find the first one rather than continuing the search. We |
240 | also avoid the $PATH search altogether when a 'pwd' was already |
241 | found in a well-known and well-trusted location like /bin or |
242 | /usr/bin. [Suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons] |
243 | |
244 | - On Win32 abs2rel($path, $base) was failing whenever $base is the |
245 | root of a volume (such as C:\ or \\share\dir). This has been |
246 | fixed. [Reported by Bryan Daimler] |
247 | |
248 | - In abs2rel() on VMS, we've fixed handling of directory trees so |
249 | that the test $file = File::Spec::VMS->abs2rel('[t1.t2.t3]file', |
250 | '[t1.t2.t3]') returns 'file' instead of an empty string. [John |
251 | E. Malmberg] |
252 | |
253 | - In canonpath() on VMS, '[]' was totally optimized away instead of |
254 | just returning '[]'. Now it's fixed. [John E. Malmberg] |
255 | |
9d5071ba |
256 | 3.14 Thu Nov 17 18:08:44 CST 2005 |
257 | |
258 | - canonpath() has some logic in it that avoids collapsing a |
259 | //double/slash at the beginning of a pathname on platforms where |
260 | that means something special. It used to check the value of $^O |
261 | rather than the classname it was called as, which meant that |
262 | calling File::Spec::Cygwin->canonpath() didn't act like cygwin |
263 | unless you were actually *on* cygwin. Now it does. |
264 | |
265 | - Fixed a major bug on Cygwin in which catdir() could sometimes |
266 | create things that look like //network/paths in cases when it |
267 | shouldn't (e.g. catdir("/", "foo", "bar")). |
268 | |
269 | 3.13 Tue Nov 15 23:50:37 CST 2005 |
270 | |
271 | - Calling tmpdir() on Win32 had the unintended side-effect of storing |
272 | some undef values in %INC for the TMPDIR, TEMP, and TMP entries if |
273 | they didn't exist already. This is probably a bug in perl itself |
274 | (submitted as #37441 on rt.perl.org), which we're now working |
275 | around. [Thomas L. Shinnick] |
276 | |
277 | - Integrated a change from bleadperl - a certain #ifdef in Cwd.xs |
278 | needs to apply to WIN32 but not WinCE. [Vadim Konovalov] |
279 | |
280 | - abs2rel() used to return the empty string when its two arguments |
281 | were identical, which made no sense. Now it returns |
282 | curdir(). [Spotted by David Golden] |
283 | |
284 | - The Unix and Win32 implementations of abs2rel() have been unified. |
285 | |
f5f48b4d |
286 | 3.12 Mon Oct 3 22:09:12 CDT 2005 |
287 | |
288 | - Fixed a testing error on OS/2 in which a drive letter for the root |
289 | directory was confusing things. [Ilya Zakharevich] |
290 | |
291 | - Integrated a patch from bleadperl for fixing path() on |
292 | Win32. [Gisle Aas] |
293 | |
b2b4ec81 |
294 | 3.11 Sat Aug 27 20:12:55 CDT 2005 |
295 | |
296 | - Fixed a couple of typos in the documentation for |
297 | File::Spec::Mac. [Piotr Fusik] |
298 | |
9596c75c |
299 | 3.10 Thu Aug 25 22:24:57 CDT 2005 |
300 | |
301 | - eliminate_macros() and fixpath() in File::Spec::VMS are now |
302 | deprecated, since they are MakeMaker-specific and now live inside |
303 | MakeMaker. [Michael Schwern] |
304 | |
305 | - canonpath() on Win32 now collapses foo/.. (or foo\..) sections |
306 | correctly, rather than doing the "misguided" work it was previously |
307 | doing. Note that canonpath() on Unix still does NOT collapse these |
308 | sections, as doing so would be incorrect. [Michael Schwern] |
309 | |
f6342b4b |
310 | 3.09 Tue Jun 14 20:36:50 CDT 2005 |
311 | |
312 | - Added some block delimiters (brackets) in the Perl_getcwd_sv() XS |
313 | function, which were necessary to separate the variable |
314 | declarations from the statements when HAS_GETCWD is not |
315 | defined. [Yves] |
316 | |
317 | - Apparently the _NT_cwd() routine is never defined externally like I |
318 | thought it was, so I simplified the code around it. |
319 | |
320 | - When cwd() is implemented using the _backtick_pwd() function, it |
321 | sometimes could create accidental undef entries in %ENV under perl |
322 | 5.6, because local($hash{key}) is somewhat broken. This is now |
323 | fixed with an appropriate workaround. [Neil Watkiss] |
324 | |
000abefc |
325 | 3.08 Sat May 28 10:10:29 CDT 2005 |
326 | |
327 | - Fixed a test failure with fast_abs_path() on Windows - it was |
328 | sensitive to the rootdir() change from version 3.07. [Steve Hay] |
329 | |
60598624 |
330 | 3.07 Fri May 6 07:46:45 CDT 2005 |
331 | |
332 | - Fixed a bug in which the special perl variable $^O would become |
333 | tainted under certain versions of perl. [Michael Schwern] |
334 | |
335 | - File::Spec->rootdir() was returning / on Win32. Now it returns \ . |
336 | [Michael Schwern] |
337 | |
338 | - We now avoid modifying @_ in tmpdir() when it's not strictly |
339 | necessary, which reportedly provides a modest performance |
340 | boost. [Richard Soderberg] |
341 | |
342 | - Made a couple of slight changes to the Win32 code so that it works |
343 | (or works better) on Symbian OS phones. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] |
344 | |
345 | 3.06 Wed Apr 13 20:47:26 CDT 2005 |
346 | |
347 | (No changes in functionality) |
348 | |
349 | - Added a note to the canonpath() docs about why it doesn't collapse |
350 | foo/../bar sections. |
351 | |
352 | - The internal-only function bsd_realpath() in the XS file now uses |
353 | normal arg syntax instead of K&R syntax. [Nicholas Clark] |
354 | |
b04f6d36 |
355 | 3.05 Mon Feb 28 07:22:58 CST 2005 |
356 | |
357 | - Fixed a bug in fast_abs_path() on Win32 in which forward- and |
358 | backward-slashes were confusing things. [demerphq] |
359 | |
360 | - Failure to load the XS code in Cwd is no longer a fatal error |
361 | (though failure to compile it is still a fatal error in the build |
362 | process). This lets Cwd work under miniperl in the core. [Rafael |
363 | Garcia-Suarez] |
364 | |
365 | - In the t/cwd.t test, don't enforce loading from blib/ if we're |
366 | testing in the perl core. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez] |
367 | |
99f36a73 |
368 | 3.04 Sun Feb 6 17:27:38 CST 2005 |
369 | |
370 | - For perls older than 5.006, the HAS_GETCWD symbol is not available, |
371 | because it wasn't checked for in older Configure scripts when perl |
372 | was built. We therefore just ask the user whether the getcwd() C |
373 | function is defined on their platform when their perl is old. |
374 | Maybe in the future we'll try to automate this. [Reported by |
375 | several parties] |
376 | |
377 | - Remove lib/ppport.h from the distribution, so that MakeMaker |
378 | doesn't accidentally pick it up and install it as a lib |
379 | file. [Jerry Hedden] |
380 | |
381 | - Fixed a testing error on VMS that occurred when a user had |
382 | read-access to the root of the current volume. [Craig A. Berry] |
383 | |
384 | 3.03 Fri Jan 21 21:44:05 CST 2005 |
385 | |
386 | - Fixed a testing error if the first file we find in the root |
387 | directory is a symlink. [Blair Zajac] |
388 | |
389 | - Added a test to make sure Cwd.pm is loaded from blib/ during |
390 | testing, which seems to be an issue in some people's environments |
391 | and makes it awfully hard to debug things on my end. |
392 | |
393 | - Skip the _perl_abs_path() tests on Cygwin - they don't usually |
394 | pass, and this function isn't used there anyway, so I decided not |
395 | to push it. Let 'em use `cwd`. |
396 | |
397 | 3.02 Sun Jan 9 19:29:52 CST 2005 |
398 | |
399 | - Fixed a bug in which Cwd::abs_path() called on a file in the root |
400 | directory returned strange results. [Bob Luckin] |
401 | |
402 | - Straightened out the licensing details for the portion of the Cwd |
403 | module that comes from BSD sources. [Hugo van der Sanden] |
404 | |
405 | - Removed the prototype from _perl_abs_path() and the XS version of |
406 | abs_path(), since all they seemed to be doing was causing people |
407 | grief, and since some platforms didn't have them anyway. |
408 | |
409 | - Fixed a testing bug in which sometimes the wrong version of Cwd |
410 | (the version already installed on the user's machine) would get |
411 | loaded instead of the one we're building & installing. |
412 | |
413 | - Sometimes getdcwd() returns a lower-case drive letter, so don't |
414 | require an upper-case letter in t/win32.t. [Jan Dubois] |
415 | |
416 | - Fixed a memory leak in getdcwd() on win32. [Steve Hay] |
417 | |
418 | - Added a copy of ppport.h to the distribution to aid compilation on |
419 | older versions of perl. [Suggested by Charlie Root] |
420 | |
421 | - Don't bother looking for a 'pwd' executable on MSWin32 - there |
422 | won't be one, and looking for it can be extremely slow when lots of |
423 | disks are mounted. [Several people, including Andrew Burke] |
424 | |
425 | - Eliminated a multi-argument form of open() that was causing a |
426 | syntax error on older versions of perl. [Fixed by Michael Schwern] |
427 | |
428 | - The bug-fix changes for revision 0.90 of File::Spec somehow were |
429 | lost when I merged it into the PathTools distribution. They're |
430 | restored now. [Craig A. Berry] |
431 | |
432 | - File::Spec->canonpath() will now reduce paths like '[d1.-]foo.dat' |
433 | down to '[000000]foo.dat' instead of '[]foo.dat' or 'foo.dat'. |
434 | This is in better accordance with the native filename syntax |
435 | parser. [Craig A. Berry] |
436 | |
437 | - In order to remove a recursive dependency (PathTools -> Test-Simple |
438 | -> Test-Harness -> PathTools), we now include a copy of Test::More in |
439 | the distribution. It is only used for testing, it won't be installed |
440 | with the rest of the stuff. |
441 | |
442 | - Removed some 5.6-isms from Cwd in order to get it to build with |
443 | older perls like 5.005. |
444 | |
445 | - abs_path() on Windows was trampling on $ENV{PWD} - fixed. [Spotted |
446 | by Neil MacMullen] |
447 | |
448 | - Added licensing/copyright statements to the POD in each .pm |
449 | file. [Spotted by Radoslaw Zielinski] |
450 | |
451 | 3.01 Mon Sep 6 22:28:06 CDT 2004 |
452 | |
453 | - Removed an unnecessary and confusing dependency on File::Spec from |
454 | the Makefile.PL and the Build.PL. |
455 | |
456 | - Added a 'NAME' entry to the Makefile.PL, because otherwise it won't |
457 | even begin to work. [Reported by many] |
458 | |
459 | 3.00 Thu Sep 2 22:15:07 CDT 2004 |
460 | |
461 | - Merged Cwd and File::Spec into a single PathTools distribution. |
462 | This was done because the two modules use each other fairly |
463 | extensively, and extracting the common stuff into another |
464 | distribution was deemed nigh-impossible. The code in revision 3.00 |
465 | of PathTools should be equivalent to the code in Cwd 2.21 and |
466 | File::Spec 0.90. |
467 | |
468 | ================================================================== |
469 | Prior to revision 3.00, Cwd and File::Spec were maintained as two |
470 | separate distributions. The revision history for Cwd is shown here. |
471 | The revision history for File::Spec is further below. |

476 | - Removed "NO_META" from the Makefile.PL, since I'm not building the |
477 | distribution with MakeMaker anyway. [Rohan Carly] |
478 | |
479 | - Only test _perl_abs_path() on platforms where it's expected to work |
480 | (platforms with '/' as the directory separator). [Craig A. Berry] |
481 | |

483 | |
484 | - On some implementations of perl on Win32, a memory leak (or worse?) |
485 | occurred when calling getdcwd(). This has been fixed. [PodMaster] |
486 | |
487 | - Added tests for getdcwd() on Win32. |
488 | |
489 | - Fixed a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path() |
490 | that caused a fatal error when run on plain files. [Nicholas Clark] |
491 | To exercise the appropriate test code on platforms that wouldn't |
492 | otherwise use _perl_abs_path(), run the tests with $ENV{PERL_CORE} |
493 | or $ENV{TEST_PERL_CWD_CODE} set. |

497 | - The abs_path($arg) fix from 2.18 didn't work for VMS, now it's |
498 | fixed there. [Craig Berry] |

500 | Cwd 2.18 Thu Jun 24 08:22:57 CDT 2004 |
09122b95 |
501 | |
502 | - Fixed a problem in which abs_path($arg) on some platforms could |
503 | only be called on directories, and died when called on files. This |
504 | was a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path(). |
505 | |
506 | - Fixed fast_abs_path($arg) in the same way as abs_path($arg) above. |
507 | |
508 | - On Win32, a function getdcwd($vol) has been added, which gets the |
509 | current working directory of the specified drive/volume. |
510 | [Steve Hay] |
511 | |
512 | - Fixed a problem on perl 5.6.2 when built with the MULTIPLICITY |
513 | compile-time flags. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] |
514 | |
515 | - When looking for a `pwd` system command, we no longer assume the |
516 | path separator is ':'. |
517 | |
518 | - On platforms where cwd() is implemented internally (like Win32), |
519 | don't look for a `pwd` command externally. This can greatly speed |
520 | up load time. [Stefan Scherer] |
521 | |
522 | - The pure-perl version of abs_path() now has the same prototype as |
523 | the XS version (;$). |
524 | |

525 | Cwd 2.17 Wed Mar 10 07:55:36 CST 2004 |

526 | |
527 | - The change in 2.16 created a testing failure when tested from |
528 | within a path that contains symlinks (for instance, /tmp -> |
529 | /private/tmp). |

532 | |
533 | - For VMS compatibility (and to conform to Cwd's documented |
534 | interface), in the regression tests we now compare output results |
535 | to an absolute path. [Craig A. Berry] |

544 | |
545 | - We now use File::Spec->canonpath() and properly-escaped regular |
546 | expressions when comparing paths in the regression tests. This |
547 | fixes some testing failures in 2.13 on non-Unix platforms. No |
548 | changes were made in the actual Cwd module code. [Steve Hay] |

553 | it'll compile properly under ANSI C rules. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] |

555 | - Fixed a 1-character buffer overrun problem in the C code. [The BSD |

565 | (Note that this release was mistakenly packaged as version 2.11, even |
566 | though it had an internal $VERSION variable of 2.10. Not sure how |
567 | THAT happened...) |
568 | |
569 | - There was a dependency in the Makefile.PL on Module::Build, which |
570 | isn't necessary. I've removed it. |
571 | |

572 | Cwd 2.09 Thu Dec 11 20:30:58 CST 2003 |
fb8d82a2 |
573 | |
574 | - The module should now build & install using version 5.6 of perl. |
575 | |
576 | - We now note a build-time dependency on version 0.19 of |
577 | Module::Build, which is necessary because we don't use the standard |
578 | lib/-based file layout. No version of Module::Build is required if |
579 | you use the Makefile.PL, just if you use the Build.PL . |
580 | |
581 | - Removed some gratuitous uses of 5.6-isms like our(), with the aim |
582 | of backporting this module to perl 5.005. |
583 | |
584 | - Simplified all code that autoloads Carp.pm and calls |
585 | carp()/croak(). |
586 | |
587 | - Removed some redundant OS/2 code at the suggestion of Michael |
588 | Schwern and Ilya Zakharevich. |
589 | |
590 | - Make sure the correct version of Cwd.pm is loaded in the regression |
591 | tests. [Sam Vilain] |

603 | |
604 | File::Spec 0.90 Tue Aug 31 22:34:50 CDT 2004 |
605 | |
606 | - On VMS, directories use vmspath() and files use vmsify(), so |
607 | rel2abs() has to use some 'educated guessing' when dealing with |
608 | paths containing slashes. [Craig A. Berry] |
609 | |
610 | File::Spec 0.89 Sun Aug 29 19:02:32 CDT 2004 |
611 | |
612 | - Fixed some pathological cases on VMS which broke canonpath() and |
613 | splitdir(). [Richard Levitte and Craig A. Berry] |
614 | |
615 | - Fixed rel2abs() on VMS when passed a unix-style relative |
616 | path. [Craig A. Berry] |
617 | |
618 | File::Spec 0.88 Thu Jul 22 23:14:32 CDT 2004 |
619 | |
620 | - rel2abs() on Win32 will now use the new Cwd::getdcwd() function, so |
621 | that things like rel2abs('D:foo.txt') work properly when the |
622 | current drive isn't 'D'. This requires Cwd version 2.18. |
623 | [Steve Hay] |
624 | |
625 | - Got rid of a redundant double-backslash in a character |
626 | class. [Alexander Farber] |
627 | |
628 | - Added much markup to pod for enhanced readability. [Andy Lester] |
629 | |
630 | File::Spec 0.87 Fri Dec 19 08:03:28 CST 2003 |
631 | |
632 | - With a one-line change in the tests, backported to perl 5.004. |
633 | [Issue reported by Barry Kemble] |
634 | |
635 | File::Spec 0.86 Fri Sep 26 10:07:39 CDT 2003 |
636 | |
637 | - This is the version released with perl 5.8.1. It is identical to |
638 | the code in the File::Spec beta 0.85_03. |
639 | |
640 | File::Spec 0.85_03 Mon Sep 15 09:35:53 CDT 2003 |
641 | |
642 | - On VMS, if catpath() receives volume specifiers in both its first |
643 | two arguments, it will now use the volume in the first argument |
644 | only. Previously it returned a non-syntactical result which |
645 | included both volumes. This change is the same in spirit to the |
646 | catpath() MacOS change from version 0.85_02. |
647 | |
648 | - Fixed an abs2rel() bug on VMS - previously |
649 | abs2rel('[t1.t2.t3]file','[t1.t2]') returned '[t3]file', now it |
650 | properly returns '[.t3]file'. |
651 | |
652 | File::Spec 0.85_02 Fri Sep 12 17:11:13 CDT 2003 |
653 | |
654 | - abs2rel() now behaves more consistently across platforms with the |
655 | notion of a volume. If the volumes of the first and second |
656 | argument (the second argument may be implicit) do not agree, we do |
657 | not attempt to reconcile the paths, and simply return the first |
658 | argument. Previously the volume of the second argument was |
659 | (usually) ignored, resulting in sometimes-garbage output. |
660 | |
661 | - catpath() on MacOS now looks for a volume element (i.e. "Macintosh HD:") |
662 | in its first argument, and then its second argument. The first |
663 | volume found will be used, and if none is found, none will be used. |
664 | |
665 | - Fixed a problem in abs2rel() on Win32 in which the volume of the |
666 | current working directory would get added to the second argument if |
667 | none was specified. This might have been somewhat helpful, but it |
668 | was contrary to the documented behavior. For example, |
669 | abs2rel('C:/foo/bar', '/foo') used to return 'bar', now it returns |
670 | 'C:/foo/bar' because there's no guarantee /foo is actually C:/foo . |
671 | |
672 | - catdir('/', '../') on OS2 previously erroneously returned '//..', |
673 | and now it returns '/'. |
674 | |
675 | File::Spec 0.85_01 Thu Sep 11 16:18:54 CDT 2003 |
676 | |
677 | Working toward 0.86, the version that will be released with perl 5.8.1. |
678 | |
679 | - The t/rel2abs2rel.t test now is a little friendlier about emitting |
680 | its diagnostic debugging output. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] |
681 | |
682 | - We now only require() Cwd when it's needed, on demand. [Michael |
683 | Schwern, Tels] |
684 | |
685 | - Fixed some POD errors and redundancies in OS2.pm and Cygwin.pm. |
686 | [Michael Schwern] |
687 | |
688 | - The internal method cwd() has been renamed to _cwd(), since it was |
689 | never meant for public use. [Michael Schwern] |
690 | |
691 | - Several methods in File::Spec::Unix that just return constant |
692 | strings have been sped up. catdir() has also been sped up there. |
693 | [Tels] |
694 | |
695 | - Several canonpath() and catdir() bugs on Win32 have been fixed, and |
696 | tests added for them: |
697 | catdir('/', '../') -> '\\' (was '\..') |
698 | catdir('/', '..\\') -> '\\ (was '') |
699 | canonpath('\\../') -> '\\' (was '') |
700 | canonpath('\\..\\') -> '\\' (was '') |
701 | canonpath('/../') -> '\\' (was '\..') |
702 | canonpath('/..\\') -> '\\' (was '') |
703 | catdir('\\', 'foo') -> '\foo' (was '\\foo') |
704 | |
705 | - catpath($volume, $dirs, $file) on Mac OS now ignores any volume |
706 | that might be part of $dirs, enabling catpath($volume, |
707 | catdir(rootdir(), 'foo'), '') to work portably across platforms. |
708 | |
709 | File::Spec 0.85 Tue Jul 22 11:31 CDT 2003 |
710 | |
711 | A bug-fix release relative to 0.84. I've forked development into a |
712 | "stable" branch (this one) and a more aggressive branch (as yet |
713 | unreleased), with an eye toward getting the stable features in perl |
714 | 5.8.1. |
715 | |
716 | - File::Spec::Mac->case_tolerant() returned 0 when it should have |
717 | returned 1. |
718 | |
719 | - Many cases in File::Spec::Win32->abs2rel() were broken, because of |
720 | the way in which volumes were/weren't ignored. Unfortunately, part |
721 | of the regression tests were broken too. Now, if the $path |
722 | argument to abs2rel() is on a different volume than the $base |
723 | argument, the result will be an absolute path rather than the |
724 | broken relative path previous versions returned. |
725 | |
726 | - Fixed a problem in File::Spec::Win32->canonpath, which was turning |
727 | \../foo into "foo" rather than \foo |
728 | |
729 | - Greatly simplified the code in File::Spec::Unix->splitdir(). |
730 | |
731 | File::Spec 0.84_01 Fri Jul 11 16:14:29 CDT 2003 |
732 | |
733 | No actual code changes, just changes in other distribution files |
734 | |
735 | - Dependencies are now listed explicitly in the Makefile.PL and |
736 | Build.PL scripts, as well as in the META.yml file. |
737 | |
738 | - The t/abs2rel2abs.t test should now be more friendly about skipping |
739 | on platforms where it can't run properly. |
740 | |
741 | File::Spec 0.84 Wed Jul 9 22:21:23 CDT 2003 |
742 | |
743 | I (Ken)'ve taken the changes from bleadperl and created a new CPAN release |
744 | from them, since they're pretty important changes. The highlights, |
745 | from what I can tell, are listed here. |
746 | |
747 | - A huge number of changes to File::Spec::Mac in order to bring it in |
748 | line with the other platforms. This work was mostly/completely |
749 | done by Thomas Wegner. |
750 | |
751 | - The Epoc and Cygwin platforms are now supported. |
752 | |
753 | - Lots of generically-applicable documentation has been taken from |
754 | File::Spec::Unix and put in File::Spec. |
755 | |
756 | - A Build.PL has been provided for people who wish to install via |
757 | Module::Build. |
758 | |
759 | - Some spurious warnings and errors in the tests have been |
760 | eliminated. [Michael Schwern] |
761 | |
762 | - canonpath() on File::Spec::Unix now honors a //node-name at the |
763 | beginning of a path. |
764 | |
765 | - Cwd.pm wasn't being loaded properly on MacOS. [Chris Nandor] |
766 | |
767 | - Various POD fixups |
768 | |
769 | - Several testing patches for the Epoc and Cygwin platforms [Tels] |
770 | |
771 | - When running under taint mode and perl >= 5.8, all the tmpdir() |
772 | implementations now avoid returning a tainted path. |
773 | |
774 | - File::Spec::OS2 now implements canonpath(), splitpath(), |
775 | splitdir(), catpath(), abs2rel(), and rel2abs() directly rather |
776 | than inheriting them from File::Spec::Unix. |
777 | |
778 | - Added 'SYS:/temp' and 'C:/temp' to the list of possible tmpdir()s |
779 | on Win32. |
780 | |
781 | - catfile() on Win32 and VMS will now automatically call canonpath() |
782 | on its final argument. |
783 | |
784 | - canonpath() on Win32 now does a much more extensive cleanup of the |
785 | path. |
786 | |
787 | - abs2rel() on Win32 now defaults to using cwd() as the base of |
788 | relativity when no base is given. |
789 | |
790 | - abs2rel() on Win32 now explicitly ignores any volume component in |
791 | the $path argument. |
792 | |
793 | - canonpath() on VMS now does []foo ==> foo, and foo.000000] ==> foo]. |
794 | It also fixes a bug in multiple [000000.foo ==> [foo translations. |
795 | |
796 | - tmpdir() on VMS now uses 'sys$scratch:' instead of 'sys$scratch'. |
797 | |
798 | - abs2rel() on VMS now uses '000000' in both the path and the base. |
799 | |
800 | File::Spec 0.82 Wed Jun 28 11:24:05 EDT 2000 |
801 | - Mac.pm: file_name_is_absolute( '' ) now returns TRUE on all platforms |
802 | - Spec.pm: unbreak C<$VERSION = '0.xx'> to be C<$VERSION = 0.xx>, so |
803 | underscores can be used when I want to update CPAN without anyone |
804 | needing to update the perl repository. |
805 | - abs2rel, rel2abs doc tweaks |
806 | - VMS.pm: get $path =~ /\s/ checks from perl repository. |
807 | - Makefile.PL: added INSTALLDIRS => 'perl', since these are std. modules. |
808 | - Remove vestigial context prototypes from &rel2abs until some future |
809 | arrives where method prototypes are honored. |
